What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois expanded its permanent injunction against the Illinois Interchange Fee Prohibition Act to include federal credit unions. The law, which bans swipe fees on the sales tax and tip portions of electronic payments, is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2027, after being pushed back twice by the General Assembly. President Donald Trump stated that Congress would pass a bill to eliminate what he called 'out-of-control' credit card swipe fees.
